BI IR COUNTrS OLDEST DAILY NEWSPAPER 4 ALTOONA TRIBUNE, Wednesday. December 195 Hollidaysburg Merchant Dies i 1 lb XT pin This 'N By LOU MAIEKIIOFKK Much has been said and very little printed regarding television reception in this area since WJAC and WDTV television stations changed channels. In the first place both TV stations moved to other channels in accordance with orders from the Federal Communications Commission, Washington, D. C. The stations have received a considerable number of reports indicating reception is as good or better as was on the previous channels.

WDTV has not trusted to just what the viewers and set owners say. It has made careful checks with accurate and approved test equipment operated by trained personnel, recognized as the best in the business. We would like to quote you what WDTV's chief engineer, Raymond V. Rodgers, has to say. Mr.

Rodgers has been in broadcasting nearly 20 years and worked on TV transmission equipment, since 1936. "There is no mystery about the transmission or reception of television signals as seems to be indicated by certain "experts" Hiid servicemen. Intel 1 i analysis of the present situation clearly indicates those havin poor reception or no reception on Channel 2 that the difficulty is a combination of maladjust ment of the receiver on Channel 2 or the antenna installation.

Tuesday Congressman Suggests Limit On News Space Given To Candidate changing the rules of voter wooing should be approached with caution. The congressman and the GOP chairman, who is Gen. Dwight D.

That proposal, from Rep. Hoffman (R-Mich) was a sharp contrast to go-slow advice offered by Chairman Arthur E. Summerfield of the Republican National Committee.

While he conceded that more workable limitations on spending are desirable, Summer-field said the whole problem of 24-HOUR WRECKER SERVICE BILKA SERVICE STATION PHONE 2-1420 OR 2-3750 STORES IN ALTOONA TYRONE BARXESBORO GREENSBURG SAVE 13 OBITUARIES Funeral Notice Will Be Found On Classified Page MRS.

Remote Control AND That WDTV engineering departmeift has found some receivers without the proper tuning coils for Channel 2, maladjustment of trimmers on channel selector mechanism and the use of im-proxT antenna installation in ordinary low signal and fringe areas." And we think WJAC en gineers in Johnstown will say the same. Mr. Rodgers said "The original intention of coverage by the tel evision station as established by prior FCC rules was in the order of 25 to 30 miles of primary service area. Beyond the 30-mile range the reception of television becomes a special problem re quiring sharply tuned and high gain receiving antennas.

DTV feels that upon the in stallation of its higli powered transmitting equipment in the spring better reception may be had as far east as the Altoona area, Mr. Rodgers also blames a lot of TV set problems on incom petent servicemen. He suggesti TV owners deal only with well- established firms to prevent such "unscrupulous practices." Since WJAC moved to channel 6 (from 13) reception in the Blair county area has picked up somewhat. Most noticeable is Tyrone. Where before reception was nil, today is fairly good.

Everett they are viewing Johnstown, Baltimore and Washington. However, this area is still waiting for the FCC to give Altoona it's own television station. Do You Know The U. S. Marine corps has participated in nearly 300 separate landings on foreign shores.
